UJ Board OT: Football, life, Introductions, stuff...

[DelaneyRudd]

Yeah.... too chicken to play. Don't worry, Utah State waited patiently for the opportunity to get spanked by the Utes. I'm sure the Cougars can too. There's only so much of them to go around for everyone.

[El Turco]

oh no, you didn't go there!

[xstockholmsyndromex]

Wow, how quickly the Pac 12 gets to ones head! You are part of the elite conferences now so you can be "east/west coast" bias now eh? So what exactly level are you on?....nevermind

BYU is better than Utah, how is broken wing Winn going get past the tough linebackers of Provo?; but I guess, let the smack begin, it is going to be fun with this last rivalry game. It's just unfortunate that Utah had to be chickens to play the cougars... ahhhhhhh they will come back once they end up never getting to a bowl anymore and need the cougars on their schedule to "beef it up". Its just going to be sad for Utah when they lose a home game to their rivals and have to think about it for a few years until the next game.

This isnt the last rivalry game. They have agreed to a game in Provo for 2013. Then the rivalry will take a break for 2 years and resume in 2016 at Rice-Chex Stadium.

As far as BYU vs. Utah goes....its still too early to tell. Utah played a High School team and BYU played a team that has less wins in the last 4 years than BYU had last year alone. Lets see how they both play this week, al be it, BYU now has a chump team and Utah plays a team in Utah State that is pretty equal talent wise to Wash. St.
Obviously both teams have their weakeness on the offensive side of the ball. I think it is going to be a defensive battle. Both teams have very stout defenses that will be hard to run on. Neither BYU or Utah has a real dominant QB starting for them, so it will ultimately come down to who makes the least mistakes. BYU's Offensive Line will have a huge task trying to contain Star L. and the rest of the Utah D-Line, and Utah is going to have to try to find a way to keep the BYU LB's (specifically KVN) from reeking havoc in the backfield. I think we will see a real battle at RES this year, with my prediction(and prefered result) BYU ultimately pulling out the win. BYU has a huge chip on the shoulder after last years debacle. Utah has the attitude that they are "too big" for the rivalry anymore. Either way, it should be a fun game to watch.

With White and Murphy, the Utes have more play makers than BYU on the offensive side of the ball, and regardless of how improved BYU's defense is, it isn't anywhere near the Utes.

We don't really know much of anything about these two teams yet. I'm not very confident about the Utes beating the Cougars. There are just too many question marks with Wynn and the kicking game for me to feel comfortable.

[DelaneyRudd]

The Cougs are better this year, but so are the Utes. I'm not going to make too wild of predictions but I think the Utes win both of the rivalry games.

USU

[FJS]

Hi, I'm FJS.

Originally I was FranJazzSpain (my name, team and country) but I was waived after an epic thread in lakers forums.
I thought it was titled "Kobe Bryant and his f*cking face"
Then I had to apologise and come back as FJS. It was near 10 years ago (oh, how young I was then)
10 years of my life posting in Realgm and enjoying Jazz forums. Watching Stockton retire, Malone to go, AK, Deron, Memo, Boozer, right now Favors, Hayward, Kanter and so...

I'm a jazz fan, obviusly. I am soccer fan too, and my team is one of the world. FC Barcelona, my hometown.
Why I am a Jazz fan? When I was 8 in 1988 I watched stockton and Malone vs Lakers showtime and I fell in love with their play.
I am from Sant Boi de Llobgreat, a town near of Barcelona. As curiosity Marc and Pau Gasol are from this city too.

regards,

Oh boy. This sure is a crummy game so far. (first half)

[Bat]

Bad start for the Utes, but Jordan Wynn's career for the Utes might be over. Guy just doesn't have it. Wonder how much we see Travis Wilson in this one.

Still think over the length of this game the Utes over power USU and win it.

YUMMY!

[El Turco]

rip.

Turning point game last night. Official end to the Jordan Wynn era at Utah.

Aggies!
